Thinking about upgrading my pc

roachyuk · 8 Feb 2011 at 20:23

ok i was thinking of upgrading my pc but all the questions ive asked at the moment ive found its not really worth it as of yet...ok here is why i want to upgrade...my spec is whats in my sig...now my ssd is only 80 gb intel one so i want to get a bigger one, hence my problem its pointless getting the sata 2 one might as well get the 6gb/s one ie crucial...so then i think my motherboard is only 3gb/s so i need a new one,then i think i might as well ge tmy graphics and processor and memory upgraded at the same time....some people think its pointless as i am not really improving my pc which i am thankful for that...so no im thinking just to get the bigger ssd and at least i have it for the future, i know a bad word future in the pc market lol....so what is the next step and when will it be here the successor to the i 7 1366 setup...thanks guys any advise would be helpful.....
might just get the sabre tooth x58 board to do me for now lol

leave your system as it is, there are new Intel and Crucial SSD's due soon.

nice keyboard and mouse?

I have a similar system, bar the memory which I use the Patriot viper and often thought about updating / changing the board, but in the long run I would doubt I notice any performance difference.

I believe some SSD are on the horizon, but when I am not sure.

just wait for the new SSD's due in the first quarter - http://www.anandtech.com/show/4086/microns-realssd-c400-uses-25nm-nand-at-161gb-offers-415mbs-reads

P.S I use to have a X6 keyboard, sold it for a Logitech

so they are the upgrades from the c300 drives that we can get now....i find the x6 a good keyboard as i dont use the num pad but hate the way it only sits flat no legs to raise the back of it....which is stupid.

yes and Intel G3 SSD are coming soon too.

sounds good whats replacing the i7 processor then.

You have Sandy Bridge out at the moment but I believe Ivy Bridge is due end of year.

end of year...so might just be worth updating my board just to get the 6gb and usb 3...for now then.
